Virginia for a Protective Tariff.
Eek SENATOR MAHoNE's TESTIMONY TO THAT
EFFECr-THE PEANUT ARGUMENT IS SOLID.

While recently in New York ex Senator
American Protective Tariff League, In con.
versation with one of them he said:
Virginia can be carried on the tariff, if it
can be forced upon the democrats. They
want to avoid il, say it is not an issue. and
desire to talk upon home questions. We do
not know what shape the issues may take
until after their State Convention next
month. The great mass of our people to day
are in favor of protection If the question was
fairly presented. They are attached to old
traditions and party ties are strong. They
are slow to move, but when they see their
best interest they will follow il
The trouble has been in presenting the
tariff to them. Thousands of documents and
tracts have been distributed. but usually they
talk over, and not to, the average Virginian.
There is nothing more complete and beautiful
than MIR. Baiue's tariff speeches, and his
argument on Bessemer steel is unanswerable
in showing the destruction of the English
monopoly, transferring the manufacture to
our people and keeping the wealth at home
cheapening the rails to the consumer here
and enabling US to build nearly 100, 900 miles
of railroad in twenty five years. But our pee
pie in Virginia don't make steel rails yet, and
c,nnot feel the force of the argument. Our
colored people do grow peanuts, and when
they are told that there is duty of 20 cents
u bushell. that keeps out African peanuts,
they understand it. There are thousands of our
people engaged in numbering. and they know
what the duty of So per thousand feet on
sawed lumber means. In certain parts of the
State where there is development of iron
and coal the naturalness and the necessity OF
q tariff needs no other argument. They are
already converted, and if the issue is made
politically they will be overwhelmingly fol
protection.
political speeches have their uses. and
documents help to inform them, but ouI
people are learning for themselves, by prac
teal, everyday observation, that the protect
i've system is for their best interests, and in
time Virginia will range on that side a.
solidly as Pennsylvania. We want the
internal revenue taken of. This is tax upor
our people, and when we show them that BY
cheapening their tobacco they can buy some
thing else with the difference it needs nc
further argument. If democrats will accep
this issue the State. can be carried In 1888 fol

The Administration and Civil Ser
vice Reform.

When Senator German saw that to
insure his interests in Baltimore it would
be necessary to resort to vigorous meas
ures to control the city primaries, he
summoned to his aid two of the most
noted political agents and perpetrators of
election frauds, Eugene Higgins and
Indian Inspector Thomas. Higgins was
not a long time ago appointed by Presi-
dent Cleveland to the Treasury depart
ment. He was known personally by the
President some time previous to his APP
pointment His career in politics had
been made conspicuous by frauds which
were perpetrated under his direction. 1t is
not improbable that his political reputa-
ton was so extensive that the President
knew his true character and, il he did not
his conduct in the Treasury department
has been such as to make the President
very we'll acquainted with it. He has
proved himself there to be small,
malignant, offensive politician, spoils-
man of type baser than has
been seen in Washington for many
years and yet he has been retained. In
his retention in office as we'll as in his ap-
pointment to office, Senator German who
managed the Cleveland campaign, has
been very instrumental. we'll knowing
that it would be necessary to have Higgins
where he could bs used when needed. He
has been needed to assist in the Baltimore
elections and he has been called from his
Office in the Treasury department to put
things through by the corrupt political
methods in the conception of which he
has no equal. In thus engaging
In active political work he has violated
the Presidents civil service order. There
is no doubt OF his guilt. He even con.
fesses it and laughs in the face of those
who would call him to account. The Civ.
II Service Reform League OF Baltimore
has taken the matter in hand, has
collected evidence and will present it to
the President. He however will not dis
miss him. Mr.. Cleveland cannot afford
to offend German or lessen his political
chances in Maryland. Civil service re-
form is not for that State. And yet the
President cannot ignore the evidence
which will be presented. He cannot ig
more the opinion of his own party nor the
expressions of his party organs. Ever

the Boston Herald calls for higgins dis
missal. 1t says:
SIT 10 difficult to zee how President Cleve-
land can fail to act on the case of the notori-
Gus Higgins, if it shall be proved, as it prob
ably will be, that he exerted himself actively
in the recent primary elections in Baltimore.
The President stated distinctly and emphati
cally TO correspondent of the Herald that
proceedings of this kind would not be allowed
and when he was asked if they had not pre-
vailed in certain quarters, his reply was.
They have not been called to my attention
1t is said that the Baltimore Civil Service
Association will at once prefer charges
against Higgins. which must come under the
cognizsnc of the President. II ought to
bring about the end Of this kind of work on
the part of Higgins. There has been alto
gether too much of it !"
With democrats and mugwumps clamor-
ing that such breach OF faith shall re-

Higgins is not dismissed some action
should be taken. What will Mr.. Cleve-
land dop HIS past record affords suffi-
cient data from which TO predict. He
will attempt in letter to smooth matters
over. make Higgins case appear in as
favorable light as possible and in his
dignity push all personal responsibility
aside. But this course although his only
alternative will not be followed without
being attended with harm to himself. The
mugwumps will not be satisfied and the
gulf between them and the administration
will be made wider. His own party can
not fully endorse such course and main
tain the high standard of their profession
and Mr.. Cleveland will add one more link
to the chain of evidence which proves him
the enemy of civil service reform.

THAT GOLDEN EGG.

Yaquina Bay is a fine summer resort.
There are few things, however, that must be
changed, or the goose that lays the golden
egg is going to die. Among these may be
mentioned the ferry rates between Newport
and South beach. The charge is IS cents each
way for foot passengers and ST. 90 each way
for teams. There is a complaint among sum.
mer visitors of oyer charging in other ways.--
Benton Leader.
The above is entirely true and 10 the point.
Moreover, many from Southern Oregon have
been in the habit of visiting the bay every
summer, and this year the Press Association
met on the bay, and in behalf Of some Of these
visitors at least we would say, that they were
over charged. The Yaquina hotel, the boats,
mot the ferry boats) and the enterprising
Brassfeld, excepting the courtesies Of the
newspapers, no reductions were made for the
members OF the press and at one OF the hotels
at least one poor newspaper man that we
heard Of was given IS cent room, and had
to 20 down stairs TO wash Gut of paper wash
bowls, and so on, and he was made to pay
$500 per day for fare worth no more than
SI.oo per day. There are hotels in Roseburg
which set as good tables, and give as neat
rooms, for from $I.oo to $I.5o per day, and
you can buy supplies as cheaply at Newport
as at Roseburg. This skinaing business, and
in some instances poor accommodations al
first class prices, will cause visitors TO turn III
other directions for a simmer resort.

sion, held meeting at tSs capitol Monday, to
consider various subjects Of Importance which
had been brought to their notice.
The first matter brought up for consideration
was the complaint Of Mr.. Summerville, OF
Pendleton, made some two weeks since, con
cerning the exhorbitant charge of the 0. X. d
N. company in taxing him SIS for carload
Of wheat from Pendleton to Portland, when,
according to the recommendation Of the COM
mission, the charge should have been but $44.
Messrs. Bingham & Ramsey, representing Mr.
Summerville, were On hand, but no rcpresen-
tative of the railroad company was present
neither has it made any Kind Of an answer tc
the complaint. The matter was postponee
until Tuesday, when, If the company does no
appear, measures of a decisive nature vii
probably be taken by the commission.
The answer Of r. koehlcr, manager OF tn
Oregon & California, to the complaint of over
charges made by shippers Of Linn county, wa
filed and examined by the commission.
Other important business remains to be dom
by the commission at this meeting, which vii
last for several days.
